TGIF! Hope everyone else jumped on the new fad and got themselves a new boat this week.
Word Count Filler Time
Since it’s the holiday season, let’s talk about cranberries! Just kidding, check out Cocktail of the Week for that. We’re going to talk about lawsuits!
Plantiff: 16 violinists
Defendant: City of Bonn, Germany
Case: The violinists belonged to the Beethoven Orchestra and sued for a pay raise. Their argument was that they played more notes than the woodwind and brass sections and should be compensated for those extra notes. They even argued they were being generous to not ask for more by calculating the extra pay per eighth note. The orchestra director said “This suit is absurd.”
Plantiff: Lady in Santiago, Chile
Defendant: Her bank
Case: The lady was at her bank to make a cash withdrawal. During the transaction one of the cashiers loudly asked “Who’s the the lady for the $16,000?” You’ll be shocked to know upon leaving the bank she was robbed of all that cash. Her suit was to reclaim that money claiming the cashier was responsible. She also claimed he loudly counted out the money so everyone could hear. The bank countered they had video showing the cashier was not shouting.
Plantiff: Restaurant diner in West Palm Beach, Florida
Defendant: The restaurant
Case: The diner ordered potato soup but was given clam chowder soup. Unfortunately, the diner ate the whole bowl of soup despite being allergic to clams. This ended up with him in the emergency room and a lawsuit. HumoUrsly, the jury found the restaurant guilty, but the diner 90% responsible for eating the soup, so they only got 10% of the money they asked for.
Plantiff: Contestant
Defendant: Wheel of Fortune
Case: The contestant won a $48,000 jackpot on the show. The contestant put out his hand to shake hands with Pat, but Pat jumped on him for a hug. The contestant ended up having back surgery and sued the show for $2 million. The show countered he had signed a waiver for injuries before appearing on the show.
Plantiff: Texas parents
Defendant: Scenic Igloo Village in Cordova, Alaska
Case: The parents took their kid their to see Eskimos. The village did not have any Eskimos, but they did encounter an actor there that was dressed as a woman. This horrified the parents with one calling it “sick.” The village manager refunded their money and sent them on their way. The parents sued for $600,000 for damages of the “cross-dressing Eskimo” traumatizing their kid. The manager responded the parents got lucky as that actor had previously come to work dressed as Madonna and another time in only a bagel. The actor added “I am an Aleut, not an Eskimo.” The case ended with in a hung jury.
That’s enough legal chicanery for one day. Let’s move on.
